People are suffering, losing their homes, and many have died. The problem isn’t rakes, it’s climate change, and the President’s job is to keep Americans safe. We don’t have time for this weak, pathetic nonsense.

My colleagues and I promised that if America entrusted us with a Democratic majority in the House, we would ensure we focused our energies on fighting #ForThePeople. And that’s exactly what we intend to do in the new Congress.

Yesterday I joined @EleanorNorton to introduce legislation requiring federal uniformed officers to wear body cameras and use dashboard cameras. It’s too late to stop what happened to Bijan, but this would help prevent it from happening again. 3/washingtonpost.com/crime-law/2018…

Thank you @EleanorNorton@RepDonBeyer for proposing this bill and advocating for this important cause. Body and dash cams are incredibly important to maintain transparency and accountability, for the public and the police. #wearebijan

With this rule, Betsy DeVos is moving to make it more difficult for survivors to be heard and get justice. If there is one thing we’ve learned from #MeToo it is that we should not be silencing women. vox.com/policy-and-pol…

Thank you @RepDonBeyer for your leadership in opposing the destructive “Manage our Wolves Act.” We commend your tireless defense of science, public participation in government, and the Endangered Species Act. #StopExtinction

.@realDonaldTrump and Republicans in Washington are determined to remove gray wolves from the #EndangeredSpecies list. There are only ~5,000 grey wolves left in the lower 48 states. They deserve to thrive in a sustainable habitat, not be treated as a target. #StopExtinction

12,000 people in Arkansas just lost their health care coverage because the GOP continues to deny that every American deserves access to quality, affordable health care. This is a basic human right and we will absolutely continue fighting for it.

We will be opening the new Congress in the transparent & open way we promised. Lowering prescription drug prices, raising wages, & fighting corruption in Washington will be at the heart of our efforts in the Democratic House. #ForThePeople

Today I sent a letter to acting AG Whitaker + FBI Director Wray notifying them that I expect DOJ and FBI to address the backlog of unanswered @HouseJudDems requests that have been made concerning legitimate oversight matters under the Committee’s jurisdiction.

Secluding students and physically restraining students in school are proven to be dangerous, ineffective practices. That's why I joined @RepDonBeyer@ChrisMurphyCT and @PattyMurray to introduce the Keeping All Students Safe Act.

Signing up for health coverage is much cheaper than you might think. Most people qualify for financial help and 8 in 10 people can get covered for less than $75 per month. Head over to healthcare.gov today and start searching for an affordable plan for 2019. #GetCovered
